Luis Fernando Benedit (1937-2011) was an Argentine architect, artist, and designer who pushed boundaries, both physical and metaphorical. His multimodal work explored many critical aspects of Argentine life and identity, pushing the limits between art and the sciences. Manara will be joined in conversation with Jason Araújo, Ph.D. candidate in Comparative Literature and Assistant Director of the Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Montevideo, and Dr. Marcela Vieira, curator and editor of Revista Rosa.
